This week in Primary 7 has been packed with learning. Here are some of the things we have been doing:
Aidan, Sally and Lianne: We celebrated Father Paul’s last day on Thursday where we presented him with a scrapbook which the children in every class put together for him. We also had a leaving assembly for him where we sang a song we made up and then the Primary 7 children enjoyed a farewell tea party with lots of cakes!!!
Catherine, Nikki and Liam: We have continued to read our class novel, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. This week we made our very own chocolate bar designs, tried to think of different scenarios for when Charlie opens the chocolate bar wrapper and finds the golden ticket, used the best up-levelled adjectives we could think of in writing to describe Mr Willy Wonka and then we also did a group task where we worked together to create either: a new book cover, a museum display, a wordl of emotions the children felt when they walked in to the chocolate room and different gates for entering the chocolate factory.
Kaden: On Monday we started a new thing called Monday Circles where we worked in our house groups with children from P5-7. Our task was to answer 3 questions about Anytime Anywhere Learning (AAL) and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD).
Liam: In maths we have started learning about place value. So far we have been using whiteboards to put numbers in to the correct columns (Millions, Hundred Thousands, Ten Thousands, Thousands, Hundreds, Tens and Units. We then did a few different activities on the netbooks, using the maths website Top Marks. After this we thought about where place value is important in real life situations and we used the football transfer deadline day to link our learning as footballers were bought and sold for huge record amounts of money this year.
Avelon: In PE our topic is team games so with Mr McCurdy we played either Hockey or Rugby depending on what we had selected last week and with Miss Ford we played a new style of the traditional game, rounders – it was very tiring!
Joshua: For homework we were doing an activity called the shoe box portrait where we put precious things in to a box and showed these to a group. This allowed us to get to know more about each other.
Charlie: Finally we did our first Literacy carousel where our activities included: handwriting, comprehension, spelling and grammar and we also gave Miss Ford our ideas about what we would like to learn this term.
Have a great weekend!
